2,000 Miles In 10 Days On Horseback
The first Pony Express Rider left Sacramento, California, bound for St. Joseph, Missouri, on April 3, 1860. On that same day, another rider left St. Joseph bound for Sacramento. Since no official records have been found, there is still much debate over who those riders were. Some sources claim they answered help wanted ads in local newspapers. The ad simply stated:
Young, skinny, wiry fellows.
Not over 18.
Must be expert riders.
Willing to risk death daily.
Orphans preferred.
Another ad found in 1860 archives was more descriptive:
The Undersigned Wishes To Hire
Ten or a dozen men, familiar with the management of horses, as hostlers or riders on the Overland Express Route via Salt Lake City. Wages $50 per month and found. I may be found at the St. George Hotel during Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
William W. Finney
In 1860, the Butterfield Overland Stage had already been in operation between Sacramento and St. Louis for more than a year, but it still took about 24 days to send a letter end to end. The Pony Express could do it in ten.
Founders of the Pony Express had high hopes of winning a Federal Mail Contract similar to the one awarded to the Butterfield Stage. Because of the civil war and the completion of a transcontinental telegraph line, their hopes were never realized. The Pony Express lost a lot of money but it found a place in American folklore that will last forever.
A healthy horse can run at full speed for about 12 miles. For that reason 165 stations were placed between Sacramento and St. Joseph. Each rider had an assigned route of about 100 miles and was expected to average ten miles per hour. He changed horses every ten to fifteen miles and rode as fast as the horse could manage. He handed the mail bag to a new rider at the end of his route, then sat back and waited for the next mail bag to arrive from the other direction that would take him back home.
The Pony Express route crossed only two states. California and Missouri. Everything else in between was wild unsettled territory. Hiring station masters and placing them in relay stations every 12 miles across hostile territory involved finding water, building shelters, obtaining livestock, and setting up the means to keep them supplied.
The longest ride recorded for a Pony Express rider was 380 miles. Pony Bob Haslam was assigned the route between Lake Tahoe and Buckland's Station located in the territory that eventually became Nevada. One day in May of 1861, Pony Bob arrived at Buckland's Station. He had completed his 75-mile route. Indians were on the warpath and were attacking anyone they found east of Buckland's. The relief rider refused to take the mail bag.
Pony Bob mounted the relief horse and left Buckland's Station in a cloud of dust. Without taking time to rest, he completed the second route to Smith's Creek. He had traveled 190 miles.
Nine hours later, the mail bag from the East arrived. Pony Bob took that bag and ran it all the way back to Lake Tahoe. Along the way, he passed the smoldering timbers at the Cold Springs Station. Indians had burned it to the ground and killed everyone there.
In July of 1861, an eleven year old boy by the name of Charlie was hanging around the Pony Express Station in Sacramento. He was waiting to watch the Pony Express rider mount up and race out of town with the mailbag bound for St Joseph. As the minutes ticked by, it became evident the rider assigned to the run was not going to show up. Charlie, took the mail bag, mounted the horse and raced out of town. He finished the route on time that day and every week after that for five months. Bronco Charlie secured his place in history as the youngest Pony Express rider to ever carry the mail. He was also the last one living before he died at the age of 105.

Auriderm: All Skin Types
No matter how ugly or unsightly, no bruise lasts forever. Your body's innate healing power eventually mends the injured area, making it as good as new. An important part of the healing process for bruises is the release of vitamin K, which helps to dissipate the hemosiderin that forms under the skin and creates much of the discoloration associated with bruising. Because of its effects on hemosiderin, vitamin K causes bruises to fade, and when you supplement your body's supply of vitamin K, you can help heal bruising faster. The Auriderm skin care collection is specially formulated to boost vitamin K supplies to stimulate healing.
The Auriderm skin care collection is ideal for treating severe bruising following accidents and operations. By applying one of the creams to an injured area, you can dramatically shorten the length of time that it takes for your skin to recover and have an even tone again. The formulas in the Auriderm collection can also be used to treat chronic skin care problems, including dark under eye circles, spider veins in the legs and purpura.

Auriderm Customer ReviewsReduces Under-Eye Circles - 9/6/2011 7:45:36 AM I have spent most of my life with dark circles under my eyes. My dermatologist recommended this product, and I am pleased with the results. I have used the Illume Eye Cream for two years, and I am much less self-conscious about my appearance than I used to be. Although not a complete "cure," this product has definitely reduced my use of concealer and gets a thumbs up from me.I wish it had worked! - 11/9/2010 4:25:06 AM I tried using a full tube of this product as directed until I ran out. It took about 8 weeks and there was no difference in any spider veins on my face, whether they have recently appeared or have been on my face for yearsno difference in any vein of any age. Anybody know of a facial vein cream that makes a difference?
Learn More About Auriderm
Bruises can seem unpredictable. Sometimes a hard bang of the shin barely results in discoloration, while a seemingly innocuous bump leaves an angry-looking contusion. One bruise may fade within days; another persists for months on end. Some may find a lingering bruise unsightly and distressing, and try to keep it masked under clothing. If you're looking to speed the healing process and reduce the visibility of a black-and-blue mark—or related blemishes such as spider veins or purpura—Auriderm may be your answer.
Auriderm boosts your body's reserves of vitamin K oxide, an element that helps with the healing process for bruises. The discoloration of a bruise results from a naturally occurring compound called hemosiderin, which is released during your body's response to an injury but which is only very slowly reabsorbed. Vitamin K assists with that reabsorption, but the process can take a while.
By supplementing your supply of vitamin K, Auriderm can help hasten bruise-vanishing—by roughly half the time it otherwise might occur. Auriderm products aren't just useful for bruises resulting from injuries and medical operations; they also can help tackle the symptoms of other discoloration issues. For example, the Auriderm process can work to diminish the visibility of spider veins—by increasing blood absorption and strengthening capillaries—and the shadows and bags that can mark weary or age-affected eyes.
Don't let a post-accident or operation bruise bring you down—and don't resign yourself to spider veins and dark shadows. Auriderm provides a scientifically honed home-based approach to tackling these marks.

FEDS TO CHALLENGE NORTH CAROLINA'S VOTING LAW: The U.S. Department of Justice will file a lawsuit Monday to stop North Carolina's new voter ID law, which critics have said is the most sweeping law of its kind, according to a person briefed on the department's plans.
Attorney General Eric Holder, who has said he will fight state voting laws that he sees as discriminatory, will announce the lawsuit at noon Monday, along with the three U.S. attorneys from the state. Critics said the law will disenfranchise African-American and elderly voters, while the Republican-led General Assembly in Raleigh said the law will protect the state's voters from potential fraud.

Some crocodiles go out on, or up, a limb to hunt, keep warm
Bernard DUPONT/FLICKR
Crocodiles don't have feet or toes that are well-adapted for climbing, but that doesn't keep them out of the trees.
Observations of crocodiles from Australia, Africa and North America show that four species could waddle up and along branches above water. The smaller crocodiles were the most agile climbers, making it as far as four meters up a tree and five meters along a branch, researchers report January 25 in Herpetology Notes.
The scientists speculate that the crocodiles move to the higher perches to sunbathe and regulate their temperatures and to get a better view of potential prey. The results may help scientists understand how well extinct species of crocodiles could climb and how they behaved, the authors say.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Noel K. Gallagher email@example.com
Staff Writer
At first, Bill DiGiulio was impressed by the handwritten note he got from Gov. Paul LePage after he wrote to the governor about the state's response to a series of apartment house fires in Lewiston this spring.
Bill DiGiulio with the letter he wrote to Governor LePage and the handwritten letter in response from the governor in his office in Portland on June 12.
Staff photo by Tim Greenway
By the time he got to the end, he was shocked.
The blunt three-sentence response starts with "Bill, I've done my part, far more than anyone else," and ends with "What have you done?"
"At first I was just shocked, then I thought it was funny," said DiGiulio, who lives in Bowdoin and is a vice president of a job placement firm in Portland. "I showed it to a friend and he congratulated me: 'You made it, you got an intimidating letter from your own governor.'"
Now, DiGiulio's letter and the governor's response hang on a wall in his Portland office.
DiGiulio wrote to the governor on May 9, the day after LePage visited Lewiston in the wake of three fires over eight days that destroyed nine buildings and left more than 180 residents homeless. LePage said the state had no discretionary money to help the victims.
In fact, there was state discretionary money, and LePage had tapped it in the past.
"Why are you telling us that you haven't found any such funding?" DiGiulio asked in his letter. "Why are you not doing everything in your power to help these people out Governor? I would like to hear back from you on this issue."
LePage eventually did release $50,000 in state funds to the city.
In his letter, LePage wrote, "I put up $50,000 plus forgave some $400,000 in loans owed by the City of Lewiston. What have you done?"
Lewiston officials said Wednesday that they had no knowledge of the $400,000 loan forgiveness.
"That's news to me," said Finance Director Heather Hunter.
City Administrator Ed Barrett didn't have any immediate information about it and said he would look into it.
Peter Steele, a spokesman for LePage, said what the governor cited in the letter is forgiveness of $382,000 in debt from a road project "done years ago."
He said LePage asked his commissioners for ideas to aid Lewiston after the fires, and Transportation Commissioner David Bernhardt suggested forgiving that debt.
"He could have announced he was forgiving the debt at a spaghetti supper," Steele wrote in an email. "But he preferred to do it out of the limelight, as he does with many of his gracious gestures."
Former Democratic Gov. John Baldacci hosted a spaghetti supper Wednesday at Lewiston High School, with proceeds going to the United Way of Androscoggin County's Lewiston Fire Relief Fund.
When asked Wednesday about the tone of the letter to DiGiulio, LePage's spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett said, "What's wrong with it?"
She called it "matter of fact."
"What you have here is a governor who is engaged with his constituents and responds to his constituents," Bennett said.
One expert on government leadership called the exchange "refreshing."
"I think it is a good thing that people in elected office sometimes tell constituents what they believe they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear," said Marty Linsky, who has taught leadership at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government for more than 30 years.
"Your governor has a reputation for directness that is unusual and pretty distinctive among governors," Linsky said. "It's a bit Chris Christie-ish," he added, referring to the tough-talking Republican governor of New Jersey.
DiGiulio had his own take on LePage.
"I'm sorry, but he's always seemed sort of a petulant bully. It's that whole anti-intellectual streak," he said.
A former Greenpeace worker who is active now with the liberal MoveOn.org organization, DiGiulio said he's politically active, donating modest amounts to causes and politicians he believes in, attending political rallies and contacting his elected representatives by phone or mail a few times a year.
This was his first letter to LePage, he said. Aside from the tone of the response, DiGiulio questioned the way LePage referred to the state funds.
"First off, that's not his 50 grand," DiGiulio said. "That was yours, and mine and everyone else's."
Linsky said he thought LePage's blunt talk was good. "Since there is so much pandering to constituents, it's kind of refreshing," he said.
DiGiulio said he definitely didn't feel like LePage pandered to him.
"The joke is that they shouldn't let (LePage) near a microphone," he said, "but I'm not sure they should give him a pen."

When it comes to your eye health I know it's easy to get sidetracked. You've most likely been hit from all sides, from the mega-box stores selling uber-cheap supplements with sketchy or incomplete nutrients, to the weekend super sales flyers touting every remedy known to man. But what is it exactly that you are looking at? Are they truly complete nutritional supplements, formulated exclusively for TOTAL and LONG-TERM health in the correct dosages and forms?

Blend of BILBERRY and BLACK CURRANT helps improve night vision
If you plan your whole day to avoid driving at night, you'll want to know more about the antioxidant-rich powerhouse bilberry! With its colorful history as a night vision aid during WWII, bilberry is rich in anthocyanosides, which go to work in the tiny blood vessels and capillaries in your eyes, improving flexibility and circulation. And black currant, another antioxidant dynamo and a natural cousin to blueberries and cranberries, has been shown in clinical studies to produce measurable improvements in night vision…within just 30 minutes! Black currant contains anthocyanosides and other flavonoids, which also help improve circulation to and within the eyes. Get the BACKED-BY-SCIENCE details here.

LUTEIN helps with glare tolerance
Few, if any other eye supplements contain the dosage of lutein found in Vision Essentials. Shown to promote the health of your retina, macula, lenses, and optic nerves, as well as support visual acuity, Vision Essentials provides a full 15 mg of lutein! This potent antioxidant is shown to significantly improve glare tolerance—the recovery time for seeing clearly again after being "blinded" by bright light. Get the BACKED-BY-SCIENCE details here.
BETA-CAROTENE helps with clear eyesight
This organic compound synthesizes a chemical needed for clear eyesight. And, when combined with other eye-supporting nutrients, beta-carotene works even harder to maintain eye health. Get the BACKED-BY-SCIENCE details here.
Vision Essentials is a total solution for comprehensive vision support—plus these other key nutrients will help keep your eyes healthy for a lifetime!
Vision Essentials also contains alpha lipoic acid, taurine, N-acetyl L-cysteine, glycine, and vitamin C. These nutrients combine to shield delicate eye cells from the damaging oxidative stress caused by UV light. In addition, Vision Essentials gives you eyebright, an often overlooked herb that helps promote a proper inflammatory response and eases sensitivity to light, and zeaxanthin to help support proper lens density, which is associated with better visual acuity.
All in all, there are 17 powerful nutrients in Vision Essentials. Each and every one is crucial to healthy eyes, especially as you age. They support every single aspect of your vision health and help to shield you from damaging UV rays. But most important, they'll give you real results that you AND your doctor will be able to see.

Science and Quality
Billberry and Black Currant Anthocyanosides
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, subjects given 50 mg of black currant anthocyanosides (BCA) adapted significantly better to the dark than those receiving the placebo. What's most impressive is those night vision improvements happened in just 30 minutes! After taking BCA, the study participants were able to make out images significantly sooner. Plus, they had less eye fatigue when performing a visually tiring task.1
Studies indicate that lutein supplementation supports visual acuity in older patients. One study examined subjects' tolerance to glare. After four months of taking lutein and zeaxanthin daily, glare tolerance greatly increased. By six months, the time needed for subjects to see clearly again after viewing a bright glaring light significantly decreased.2
In the six year AREDS research, scientists found that supplementation with lutein, beta-carotene, vitamins E and C, zinc, and copper helped to support and preserve long-term eye health, helping to support a healthy macula and normal vision.3
Compare Formulations
Altogether, the specific combination and science-based nutrients in Vision Essentials mean less eye strain, greater comfort, and sharper vision (day and night). Don't take a chance with inferior, untested brands; your eyesight is simply too valuable to risk.

Spanish La Liga Team of the Week
Lionel Messi was once again the star of this week's La Liga Team of the Week as he ran riot in Barcelona's thrilling win over Deportivo La Coruna.
By Noah TanFollow @@Noah_Tan
Messi's hat-trick and assist for Cristian Tello was just enough for Barcelona to hang on for a 5-4 victory over Deportivo, while Radamel Falcao showed his quality once again with a terrific free-kick to earn Atletico Madrid a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad.
Injury-hit Real Madrid were uninspired but effective in their 2-0 win over Celta Vigo which helped them move up to fourth in the table, but they will be nervously looking over their shoulder as a Jesus Navas inspired Sevilla side overcame Real Mallorca 3-2 to keep pace with Los Blancos.
Valencia showed great character to come from behind and beat Athletic Bilbao 3-2 courtesy of a late Nelson Valdez goal, Malaga left it late to beat Real Valladolid 2-1 and Granada fell to a 2-1 loss to Real Zaragoza.
Elsewhere, Osasuna and Real Betis were both unable to find the net as the two sides shared the spoils in a goal-less draw, Levante managed to eke out a narrow 1-0 win over Getafe courtesy of a lovely Michel strike, while Espanyol managed to overcome a spirited Rayo Vallecano side 3-2 to grab a crucial three points.
Here, ESPNSTAR.com picks the best 11 players from this week's action in La Liga. The formation for this week is 3-4-3.
GK: Enaut Zubikarai (Real Sociedad)
Stepping onto the pitch knowing that you are expected to keep out one of the world's best strikers, Radamael Falcao, is as daunting as it sounds but Zibikarai still managed to put in a respectable shift in goal to deny Atletico Madrid from running away with the game.
The 28-year-old was commanding in his penalty area and did well to keep out early efforts from Joge Koke as well as Cristian Rodriguez to keep his side in the game. Zubikarai then produced the save of the game with a stunning one-handed reflex stop to tip the ball over after his team-mate Mikel Gonzalez had inadvertently flicked the ball towards goal. Unfortunately for Zubikarai, he was unable to keep a clean sheet, but even then, it took a near unstoppable free-kick from Falcao before his goal was finally breached.
CB: Pepe (Real Madrid)
Pepe was one of the two first-team defenders (the other being Sergio Ramos) who featured for injury-hit Real in their 2-0 win over Celta Vigo but the Portuguese international made sure the absences of senior defenders Marcelo, Fabio Coentrao and Alvaro Arbeloa were not felt.
Along with Ramos, the 29-year-old put in a commanding shift at the back for Los Blancos; he was near unbeatable in the air and used his experience to great effect, reading the game well to snuff out Os Celestes' attacks with ease.
CB: Raphael Varane (Real Madrid)
The 19-year-old defender is undoubtedly one of the brightest young talents to emerge from France in recent times and he enhanced his burgeoning reputation with a composed display at the back for Real. In the team only because of injuries to several of Los Blancos' first choice defenders, Varane showed no signs of nervousness and took to the field like a seasoned professional.
The former Lens player's timing of the challenge was apparent in this game, as he put in several well-timed tackles during the game to stop the Celta forwards in their tracks. Varane's effective distribution of the ball from the back was also a highlight of his game and there is no doubt that barring any serious injuries, Varane will blossom into a fine defender for Los Blancos.
CB: Filipe Kasmirski (Atletico Madrid)
Kasmirski was an energetic presence on the for Atletico in their narrow win over Real Sociedad, with the 27-year-old tirelessly bombing forward whenever the opportunity arose to support his side's attacks, whilst at the same time not neglecting his defensive duties.
The former Deportivo La Coruna player's accurate crosses also proved to be a constant thorn in the side of Sociedad and he surely would have got himself a few assists in this game if his forwards had been more clinical in front of goal.
CM: Michel (Levante)
In a dull and turgid match between Getafe and Levante where chances for both sides were far and few between, it took a spectacular strike from substitute Michel to secure all three points for Levante, and ensured the fans at the stadium would at least get their money's worth.
Picking up a loose ball from just inside the Getafe half, Michel took a touch to set the ball up before firing in a looping 35-yard strike which nestled into the top corner of the net and left Getafe custodian Miguel Angel Moya grasping at thin air.
CM: Cesc Fabregas (Barcelona)
Fabregas certainly did his chances of fulfilling his wish of getting more first-team football a world of good with a superb performance against Deportivo. The former Arsenal player helped set the mood for the thrilling game as early as the third minute, setting up left-back Jordi Alba to score the opening goal with a wonderful weighted through pass.
Fabregas was involved once more in the Blaugrana's third goal, cleverly setting up Messi with a back-heel which the imperious Messi finished with aplomb. The Fabregas-Messi combination was on show again for Barcelona's fourth goal, with the former assisting the latter once again, and the understanding the two players have developed with each other will certainly gave Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova something to think about when selecting his team for future games.
LW: Joan Verdu (Espanyol)
Verdu was one of the key figures in Espanyol's hard fought 3-2 win over Rayo Vallecano, with the 29-year-old playmaker pulling the strings in the middle of the pitch for the Periquitos. The former Barcelona player's passing range and vision was apparent in this game and the Vallecano midfield had a tough time trying to contain the effervescent midfielder.
Unsurprisingly, Verdu was the hero for Espanyol as he scored his side's first goal, calmly finishing past Vallecano custodian Ruben Martinez after having been set up by Victor Sanchez's defence-splitting pass. Verdu then scored his side's second goal with a predatory effort early in the second half, and his commendable efforts in front of goal have earned him a spot in our La Liga Team of the Week.
RW: Jesus Navas (Sevilla)
Sevilla may have Negredo to thank for scoring a brace as Los Rojiblancos eked out a 3-2 win over Real Mallorca but it was Navas who was the inspirational spark for Míchel González's side. The Spanish winger tormented the Mallorca defence with his dribbling throughout the game, creating numerous opportunities for his team-mates whilst also getting himself into good scoring positions.
It was no surprise that Navas had a huge part to play in Sevilla's victory, as the 26-year-old sent in an accurate cross into the box in the 74th minute for Cicinho to head home what proved to be the winning goal.
ST: Radamel Falcao (Atletico Madrid)
By his lofty standards, Falcao was having an stinker in front of goal, with the usually clinical Colombian striker wasting several gilt-edged chances to put his side in front. However, like all great football players, Falcao showed that he should never be written off despite being having an off-day and proved again why he is one of the most highly sought after strikers in the world with a moment of magic to win the game for his side.
The game looked likely to be headed for a draw with both sides remaining goal-less after 89 minutes, but the 26-year-old ensured that his side would keep pace with league leaders Barcelona by scoring a beautifully curled free-kick from 25-yards out which went past the reach of Sociedad goalkeeper Zubikarai to win all three points for his side .
ST: Alvara Negredo (Sevilla)
Despite playing arguably the better football, Sevilla found themselves trailing to Mallorca but Negredo soon levelled things up for his side with a predatory instinct as he pounced on a loose ball in the box to poke the ball home.
With Sevilla going behind once again soon after, Negredo came to the fore for his side once again in the 56th minute to even the scores, with the 27-year-old's run into the box being failed to be picked up by the stagnant Mallorca defence, leaving the former Real Madrid player the simple task of nodding home Cicinho's cross.
ST: Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
I have long run out of superlatives to describe Messi's brilliance, and no matter what you think about the diminutive Argentina international, no one can deny that his inspired display against Deportivo was one of the best individual performances in the La Liga so far this season.
The 25-year-old looked lively right from the start and was involved in almost everything good the Blaugrana did; his first notable contribution for the night was to set up Cristian Tello to score Barcelona's second goal of the game. Messi then added his name to the scoresheet with a powerful low drive from just outside the penalty box, before clinically netting his second of the night following good combination play with Cesc Fabregas. And the Ballon d'Or recipient finally completed his hat-trick, and scored what proved to be the winning goal, in typical fashion, dribbling through the Deportivo defence before placing the ball accurately into the bottom right corner.

Kleiner Perkins, the investor behind Google and Amazon, and Accel Partners, best known for its investment in Facebook, are putting $18 million into MyFitnessPal, a little-known digital-health startup that has helped its 40 million-plus users shed a collective 100 million pounds.
Despite those accomplishments, this is the first time MyFitnessPal has raised money from professional investors, which raises the question: Do venture capitalists have any idea what they're doing in the networked fitness market?
One thing I'm pretty sure of: MyFitnessPal cofounders Mike and Albert Lee do, and it has precious little to do with chasing the trendy quantified-self ideas that fascinate Silicon Valley's superfit technology elite.
Instead, they've built a website and companion apps that help people accurately track their caloric intake and exercise, figure out if they're in balance, and stay on track with their weight-loss goals. The heart of MyFitnessPal is a massive nutritional database, built from a combination of restaurant menus, grocery-item data and users' entries.
Testing Silicon Valley's Investing Fitness
Full disclosure: The author of this piece is a devoted MyFitnessPal user, having used it three years ago to lose 83 of those pounds. In early 2011, I wrote about my experience for the New York Times: One would think investors might have taken notice then.
John Doerr, the high-profile Kleiner partner who sits on Google's board and is joining MyFitnessPal's board of directors, offers this theory: People in Silicon Valley are disproportionately fit and thus might pass over simpler apps like MyFitnessPal.
"Sixty-eight percent of Americans are overweight," says Doerr. "We spend $148 billion a year in obesity-related healthcare costs. I don't think Silicon Valley trains on that kind of stuff. They're onto the next anonymous, hyperconnected, transient chatting service so you can get hooked up before you get to the end of Palm Drive"—the main drag of Stanford University.
Andrew Braccia, a partner from Accel who's also joining MyFitnessPal's board, said that MyFitnessPal didn't need to raise money earlier—the Lee brothers bootstrapped the company—and that deals like this "happen on the company's timeline."
"We were always of the mindset that we wouldn't take money unless it would help," Mike Lee told me.
A Sector That Needs To Slim Down
It's about time. While MyFitnessPal soldiered along profitably with a free app, its most direct competitors, like Lose It and Livestrong's MyPlate, have tried to charge for premium features—with the result that far fewer people are using them.
Meanwhile, we've seen a flood of funding for lookalike fitness gadgets and apps, none of which seem to talk to each other well. I use three running apps simultaneously, in part to test them, in part because my friends are scattered among, and in part because each one only connects to a subset of the services I use.
I'm in the middle of a four-month experiment to test a variety of fitness devices and apps, but I have to admit that I'm skeptical that any of them will work as well as the simple discipline of recording my food intake on MyFitnessPal.
Mike Lee tells me that the company plans to use the money to push its product-development efforts forward. One great area for MyFitnessPal to focus on is broadening use of its API, or application programming interface, among other fitness apps.
See also The Quantified Self Needs A Monopoly
Today, for example, I log my exercise in about six different apps, including MyFitnessPal, depending on the type of activity. It would be great if they all fed into one central place—and MyFitnessPal has a good shot at becoming that central repository of exercise data, as it already is for food data.
"The data is a tremendous asset," says Accel's Braccia.
To get there, MyFitnessPal will have to shift gears from gaining users—it already has some 40 million—to courting its fellow fitness-app developers. To that end, Kleiner and Accel's network of investments and rolodexes of engineers may come in handy. Better late than never.

RIP Steve The Dream
Friday, October 29th, 2010
The photos I posted today are from the memorial paddle out for Steve The Dream, who lost his life in a tragic surfing accident last Sunday. Lots of folks new and loved him as the pirate at Pamilco Jack's or as a DJ, but everyone who ever surfed with him knows he always had a positive attitude and a hoot for every good ride he ever witnessed. We'll all miss the guy who was there to share the stoke everyday. RIP brother.

Users and integrators will argue endlessly over the pros and cons of using a dedicated touchpanel vs a tablet (such as an iPad) for home control. URC is coming out with a new touchpanel that looks a lot like an iPad but acts more like a whole-house controller.
The manufacturer of home automation and remote control systems had a prototype panel, the TKP-7000, at CEDIA Expo 2011 but wasn't saying much about it. No ship date, no pricing.
But our sister publication CE Pro did get a look at the beauty and managed to snap some video footage (below).
The 7-inch capacitive-touch panel is part of URC's new Total Control line, which adds cameras, lighting control, multizone audio and energy management to URC's rich remote-control capabilities.
The company already has an iPad app for the Total Control line, but marketing director Jon Sienkiewicz tells us there's still room for dedicated touchscreens for home control: "Large touchscreen controllers trump iPads three ways: speed of operation, full system integration and, especially, dedicated functionality."
There will be a consistent GUI across all Total Control interfaces.
In the demo, Sienkiewicz shows how quick and easy it is to pull up video cameras, see what's playing in any room of the house, and activate whole-house control scenes.
Is this a trend? Control4 also showed a new iPad-looking touchscreen at CEDIA, and editor Grant Clauser—the Apple lover that he is—just railed on the use of iPad for home control..
Here's URC's version of a modern-day home-control touchscreen:Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

I've never used primer before but I love this and it's now part of my daily routine. I totally notice the difference.
This is an ok primer, but I noticed that when I used it, it made my pores and any peach fuzz I had on my face stand out once my foundation routine was done.
I love this primer, it is not greasy and it lasts a LONG time! I ordered my first one in August of this year and almost 4 months later I'm ordering another one.
It is a lightweight mineral cream that applies very smoothly. It does make a great primer. My only complaint is that it did not all come out of the tube. There is quite a bit on the sides of the tube and it's not liquid enough to tap down. It's more of a lightweight paste if you can imagine that. It looks like the full size may have better packaging than the sample so yes I would recommend this and will probably purchase it myself.
I love this products. Its so smooth and my makeup just glides right over it. Its the best primer I have ever tried!!
This primer did not feel heavy. It feels light and made my skin feel smooth and silky. It decreased the redness in my skin and I did not have to use as much foundation.
I like a lot about this product. You do not need alot for great coverage and I love how it feels on my skin
Very nice product but found out at first use that a little goes a long way. I thought it would have more "hiding power" with my pores.
I like this product because it makes my skin feel silky and smooth. I wish it provided more of a base for my makeup, but this is good for daytime use.
Of all of the primers I've gotten as samples and have even actually bought, THIS is the best I've used. Many of the others make me look oily. Others are too drying. This one is just right. Perfect even. Not oily. Keeps makeup in place all day long. That just doesn't happen. This will definitely be a full size purchase

CA Parental Control Software Blocks FR as HATE site but allows DU site to go through
Computer Associates Security Center | 02/26/2010
Posted on Friday, February 26, 2010 4:03:48 PM by SeekAndFind
Folks and Friends at Free Republic
I just wanted to inform you that one of the computers I have at home has COMPUTER ASSOCIATES' SECURITY CENTER installed on it as part of the package I have with my recent Internet and cable service provider -- CABLEVISION.
This is the CA SECURITY CENTER VERSION 126.96.36.199
Now, everytime I try to access FR on this computer, it blocks me with the following reason :
URL: http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/go-button For the following reason: based on the category Category: Hate
I have to override it by entering an administrative password to temporarily allow the FR site to go through my browser.
Out of curiosity, I tried going to the DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND site and lo and behold, the CA Parental Control software ALLOWED the site with no problems.
Just wanted you people to be aware of this double standard.
Surrounding the text, which is all something cut and pasted, are about 50 smilies giving the finger.

5. You're right!
Of course, irony is lost on the average freep-hole.
Ya'll can go over to read the rest of the filth, but I don't think anyone here really needs to.

Akron, Ohio – Nebraska's Ross Dickson shot a 3-under-par 69 to lead the Nebraska men's golf team in the second round of the Firestone Invitational.
Dickson bogeyed his first hole of the second round before birdieing three holes on the back nine en route to 2-under-par 34. He birdied Nos. 1 and 2 on the front nine before parring his final five holes for 35. The London, England native added 6-over-par 78 in the first round and sits in a tie for 15th heading into the final round.
Dickson's solid round helped the Huskers improve by 14 strokes from the first round to the second round. After opening with 307, NU posted 293 for a 36-hole total of 600. The Huskers are two shots out of the top 10 after 36 holes.

Embedthis Appweb is a fast, little embedded Web server. It is unmatched in efficiency and serves pages at native speed, using an event-driven, non-blocking core to serve multiple requests using minimal resources. It has integrated caching and the ESP "C" Web framework. Without compromising performance, it has extensive security controls and a rigorous security sandbox that helps protect the server and mitigate denial-of-service attacks. It is one of the most widely deployed embedded Web servers and is used in networking equipment, telephony, mobile devices, industrial control, and consumer and office equipment, and in high-performance Web services.
Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a framework and set of services for supporting system-level performance monitoring and performance management. It provides a unifying abstraction for all of the interesting performance data in a system, and allows client applications to easily retrieve and process any subset of that data using a single API. A client-server architecture allows multiple clients to monitor the same host, and a single client to monitor multiple hosts. Archive logging and replay are integrated so that a client application can use the same API to process real-time data from a host or historical data from an archive.
MatrixSSL is an embedded SSL and TLS implementation designed for small footprint devices and applications requiring low overhead per connection. The library is less than 50Kb on disk with cipher suites. It includes client and server support through TLS 1.2, mutual authentication, session resumption, and implementations of RSA, ECC, AES, 3DES, ARC4, SHA2, SHA1, and MD5. The source is well documented and contains portability layers for additional operating systems, cipher suites, and cryptography providers.
The CyaSSL embedded SSL library is a lightweight SSL library written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded and RTOS environments, primarily because of its small size, speed, and feature set. It is commonly used in standard operating environments and cloud services as well because of its royalty-free pricing and excellent cross platform support. CyaSSL supports industry standards up to the current TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2 levels, is up to 20 times smaller than OpenSSL, and offers progressive ciphers such as HC-128, RABBIT, and NTRU.
aime is a simple, C-like programming language and an interpreter, both designed to be embeddable in applications. The language is straightforward, trivial, and direct. Its syntax is simpler than that of C, while still providing for full object management, higher order functions, and references. The interpreter is secure and expressive, allowing comprehensive control over program execution and providing powerful methods of application integration.
MUSCLE (Multi User Server Client Linking Environment) is an N-way messaging server and networking API. It includes client-side networking APIs for various languages, including C, C++, C#, Delphi, Java, and Python. MUSCLE lets programs communicate over a network via streams of serialized Message objects. The included server program ("muscled") lets its clients message each other and store information in its server-side hierarchical database. The database supports flexible queries via hierarchical wildcarding, and "live" updates via a subscription mechanism.
Functional language style immutable collections for Java.
A PHP class to dynamically generate and validate HTML forms.

Letting You Focus on Your Business
SAP applications are designed to operate, manage, analyze and help improve almost all aspects of your business. You need the right expertise and service providers to unleash SAP's potential while managing the total cost of ownership. The application-specific knowledge required to bring out the full capabilities of your SAP solutions is hard to find and expensive to retain.
Whether it's applying patches, troubleshooting or fielding user questions, the daily grind of SAP application management – from installation, testing and deployment, to monitoring availability, performance and providing end user support – can consume your time and resources. If you're caught up in these daily SAP application management tasks, your attention is being diverted away from more strategic planning and activities.
In-house experts are often busy with SAP application management. These experts could add more value to your business by applying new SAP functionality and processes to the challenges of your market. Instead of being held back by the perceived cost and investment of evolving the SAP solution, let AT&T host and manage your SAP application.

SAP Application Management Considerations
Here are some questions to consider as you move forward:
Do you spend too much time on your SAP application management?
Whether it's applying patches, troubleshooting or fielding user questions, the daily grind of SAP application management – from installation, testing and deployment, to monitoring availability, performance and providing end user support – can consume your time and resources.
If you're caught up in these daily SAP application management tasks, your attention is being diverted away from more strategic planning and activities.
Are your SAP solutions delivering the value you anticipated?
SAP applications are powerful tools, but many features are never implemented due to budget, time and expertise issues. AT&T can help determine the functionality that makes sense for your business and helps speed its deployment and shorten the time to realizing business value.
Whether it is through a professional services project or an ongoing application management services relationship, AT&T can help you identify and create the untapped value in your SAP investment.
Should you migrate your SAP hosting to a service provider?
AT&T can provide an end to end application infrastructure solution – from server provisioning to database management – in AT&T data centers around the globe. You can benefit from enterprise-class security, competitive SLAs, and disaster recovery options along with the performance and reach of the AT&T network.
Instead of capital investments in building or increasing internal infrastructure, you pay a predictable monthly fee. You also have access to a range of hosting options, from colocation to cloud services, so AT&T can help you get out of as much or as little of your existing data center footprint as you want to.
Is there a way to go live with less risk?

You can evaluate software, test new applications and third-party interfaces, or gain proof-of-concept before deployment to help lessen risks in your production environment.
